Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to military equipment. In particular, it concerns a landmine or unexploded ordnance (UEO) or improvised explosive device (IED) detection and destruction system using ground penetrating (GPR) radar to detect and guide a ballistic weapon to destroy the landmine, UEO or IED. The location of the landmine, UEO or IED is visually communicated to any personnel within the vicinity of, and endangered by the landmine, UEO or IED suitably through intelligent visors of smart helmets or headgear worn by the personnel, soldiers or combatants.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Recent studies have indicated that apart from direct engagement, military personnel are killed or seriously injured by walking over landmines. Currently, around 78 countries in the world include areas substantially contaminated with landmines. As a consequence, approximately between 15,000 to 20,000 people are killed every year while countless more are permanently maimed.
Approximately a fifth of all landmine casualties are military personnel. In the abovementioned 78-odd countries, it is estimated 110 million active landmines still remain buried in the ground.
In addition to landmines, there is also the problem of unexploded ordnance (UEO) and improvised explosive (IED) devices left in the ground in current conflicts and as remnants of previous wars. In most cases, the victims maimed or killed are civilians; with children representing a high proportion of the casualties. The discovery of unexploded ordnance, landmines and improvised explosive devices in peacetime is usually handled by police or civilian bomb disposal experts. In the battlefield or combat zone such lethal discoveries are not made until landmines, UEO or IED are tripped by soldiers inadvertently stepping on them with the attendant disastrous consequences. While the prior art includes land mine detection teams using metal detectors, it is often not feasible to organize a pre-combat clearance of the battle zone especially in the face of an advancing battlefront and wherein time is of the essence.
There is therefore an urgent need for effective landmine, UEO or IED detection and destruction systems to not only protect combatants or soldiers but to prevent them from becoming an ongoing danger to civilian populations and a deadly peacetime legacy of war.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to seek to eliminate or ameliorate the problem(s) hereinbefore described by providing a landmine, UEO or IED detection and destruction system using ground penetrating (GPR) radar to guide a ballistic weapon to destroy the landmine, UEO or IED and wherein, its location can be communicated to any personnel in the vicinity of the landmine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In a broad aspect, the invention resides in a landmine, UEO or IED detection and destruction system, comprising:
a terrestrial or ground penetrating (GPR) radar specially adapted to detect and locate landmines, UEO or IED buried in the ground;
a guided ballistic weapon adapted to fire a projectile at to destroy the landmine, UEO or IED;
a microprocessor controller in cooperation with the radar, wherein the location of the landmine, UEO or IED is used to control and guide the ballistic weapon, and a wireless protocol transceiver adapted to send the location of the landmine, UEO or IED to
a central command computer, and wherein,
the location of the landmine, UEO or IED is communicated to any personnel in the vicinity of the landmine, UEO or IED.
Preferably, the radar is adapted to detect landmines, UEO or IED within a distance of 10 meters of a walking or running soldier or combatant.
In a preferred embodiment, the radar is incorporated into a helmet or headgear or visor of a helmet or headgear worn by a soldier or bomb disposal personnel.
In another embodiment, the radar is associated with a remote controlled unmanned armored vehicle controlled by a bomb disposal personnel, soldier or combatant walking or running behind the vehicle.
Preferably the guided ballistic weapon is mounted on the remote controlled unmanned armored vehicle.
In a further embodiment, the radar is associated with a tank and the guided ballistic weapon is the cannon of the tank.
The guided ballistic weapon can be carried by a soldier typically, a scout or leader positioned at the front of a squad or platoon. It may comprise a portable rocket launcher often commonly referred to as a bazooka or stovepipe.
The microprocessor controller in cooperation with the radar and the wireless protocol transceiver adapted to send the location information can be incorporated into the helmet or headgear.
In most applications, the central command computer is located at a base camp or headquarters.
In other applications, the central command computer can be located in an armored vehicle, aircraft, drone or tank.
Preferably, the location of the landmine, UEO or IED is communicated by the central command computer to any personnel within the vicinity of the landmine, UEO or IED via a wireless telecommunications protocol.
The wireless telecommunications protocol preferably includes Bluetooth, or an equivalent wireless personal area network.
Suitably, the location of the landmine, UEO or IED is communicated by the central computer to any personnel within the vicinity of the landmine, UEO or IED via the wireless telecommunications protocol through transceivers located in the smart helmets or headgear worn by the soldiers.
In a preferred example, the smart helmets or headgear have heads up display visors wherein the location of the landmine, UEO or IED is visually displayed.
